Reply #25: I wouldn't worry about the Super delegates.

The SDs know that if they override the voters, it will look bad. As a whole, they will back the winner of the voting, that's why so many of them are waiting for a clear winner before saying anything. If they had a dog in this fight, they'd say something to help.

I'd also like to remind you of a positive feature of the SDs. Once one candidate becomes mathematically eliminated (Say Hillary loses in OH or TX), SDs provide a mechanism to tell the loser to throw in the towel. The republicans don't have SDs and even though Huckabee has no chance, he keeps bugging McCain. Nobody can step in and say, "It ain't happening Mike, you'd have to win almost everything now" SDs can step in when they've decided it's over and tell a candidate that would need 80% victories in every state to go home.
